It's true when he said he was shy. Kawasaki fought dysautonomia. I'm sure he genuinely enjoyed his time away from Japan, being surrounded by great teammates and local fans. I suffered from the same condition and left Japan, and it is slowly getting better. I act like a clown without being so shy in a foreign land, and I actually enjoy that. Ichiro or Ohtani may perform better in a filed. But for me, Kawasaki is the best baseball player.
@検証済11 ай бұрын
It was after returning from the United States that Kawasaki learned that he had dysautonomia. That's why I don't think it can be cured in America. Clowns can't do that forever either. In his case, it was one of his jobs in America. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of Kawasaki energetic appearance on TV.
